If, let's say, an employee writes a screed about how female engineers are biologically less capable of doing their job, I would actually fire that person. Not because they said something I disagree with (I couldn't care less), but because...
...tolerance of this type of thing would mean making female employees feel less welcome, less accepted, and overall less safe, which runs against our objectives of fostering free expression. Likewise, you can't tolerate threats, etc. It's a precondition to establish a safe env.
Now, you be disingenuously asking, isn't that a slippery slope? How do you define hate speech? It's easy, and you already know the definition. It's speech depicting a protected group as inferior, undesirable, or deserving violence. That's it.
You can dissent all you want on ideas, but you can't paint a target on the back of a protected group. Note: 1. "Protected group" -- not some random group. E.g. "Italians", but not "Tesla owners". 2. A group, not individuals. Individuals are protected by a different set of laws.
As a side note, I've never seen hate speech that had any intellectual value -- so you're not "weakening the public debate" by refusing to tolerate it. You're actually strengthening freedom of expression, by making *everyone* feel safe when expressing dissenting ideas.
What’s an example of something you can say that wouldn’t lead to being fired?
Can you have free speech without tolerance.
Employee A claims employee B said something that made A feel unsafe. Is the fact A claims to feel unsafe the desideratum here for disciplining or possibly sacking B? Or do you make your own judgement about whether it is reasonable for A to feel unsafe based on what B said?
We should invest in an environment where everybody feels safe, but not by denying or hiding empirical truth. How then ,I hear your ask? That is the art of the leadership, not a science.
